We all the time talk about the relation of clown and anemone for defense but not about the puffer.
I spent some time watching them on the indian ocean and discovered how they do to refill in poison.
There is this big black urchin with long spikes very poisonous (don't know the name but could find it) his sting is very painfull (unfortunately got stung many times, they were plenty were I use to catch my fish, it's worse than a waspe sting and the pain last for a long time), anyway our friend the puffer just come and bite the end of the spikes, it drives the urchin crazy, but the puffer continue until he has his amount of poison.
I took some in my tank and they continue doing it.
So question is it just the puffer, do the boxfish do the same?
